The grandest of Mexican fiestas, the San Marcos Fair, gets under way one month from now, continuing through May 9. Featured will be bullfights, cockfights, mariachi bands and top Mexican singers. There also will be a cattle show and everything found at a state fair. Aguascalientes, however, is a national fair.
Last year, for the first time, the fair was suspended as a result of the flu scare. This year, organizers promise it will be bigger and better than ever. Journalists wishing to attend should contact the state tourism secretary, Fernado Pol, at fernando.pol@Aguascalientes.gob.mx
